Make an adventure out of your next trip in Sarasota and go fishing with Sharky's Machine Sport Fishing. Your guide for the day is Captain Chris, giving you access to years of angling experience.

Species like Snook, Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Red Grouper, Gag Grouper, Tarpon, and more could be biting, depending on the season. For these fish, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there's bowfishing.

Capt. Chris believes in teaching kids to fish while they're young, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Don't forget to bring snacks – luckily, Capt. Chris will have some on board!

Your day begins aboard a 26' Contender center console with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.

Get in touch with Capt. Chris below and start planning your trip today!
